Being part of Dharok's barrows set, if Dharok's platebody is worn along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Dharok's set the player receives a special effect: attacks do more damage as the player's hitpoints decrease, up to 98.9% bonus damage with 1 hitpoint remaining at 99 hitpoints. Although the degrading deters many poorer players, it takes around 5 hours to degrade from 100 to 75, and is relatively cheap to repair. As with all Barrows equipment, this item cannot be made using the Smithingskill.
